WARNING! Do not attempt a pruning or
limbing operation in a standing tree
unless specifically trained to do so.
WARNING! The ignition system of this
machine produces an electromagnetic
field during operation. This field may under
some circumstances interfere with
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, we recommend persons
with pacemakers to consult their physician
and the pacemaker manufacturer before
operating this machine.
WARNING! Never allow children to use or
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-loaded
stop switch and can be started by low
speed and force on the starter handle, even
small children under some circumstances
can produce the force necessary to start
the machine. This can mean a risk of
serious personal injury. Therefore remove
the spark plug cap when the machine is not
under close supervision.
